My fantasy is that PC games become similar to roms, where it’s a single file. Maybe encoded is the system specs, OS, etc.
Then the “emulator” just works.
Of course, no financial incentives and a lot of work just to exist. Not to mention, it’ll be impossible to do for modern games. But maybe every game that’s older than 10 years old gets this treatment.
Also I’m not a OS engineer and maybe this is what Proton is doing with Linux.
Then pure decentralized gaming on any OS - computer, browser, raspberry pi, “smart Fridge”, whatever has the specs. And the game just works.
That is so bad. They clearly don’t understand the appeal of decentralized systems…
At the same time people on here are defending the centralization of PC gaming on Steam so even fediverse users don’t understand decentralization
How do you imagine decentralized gaming? Every game comes with it’s own launcher?

I think will be something more like gog or itch io
What makes either of those decentralized?
